Now, on the eve of her Senate confirmation hearing, a striking voice is trying to join that fray: Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. Mohammed, the principal architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, was captured in March 2003 and tortured by the CIA. This week, he asked a military judge at Guantánamo Bay for permission to share six paragraphs of information about Haspel with the Senate Intelligence Committee. On Monday, Mohammed submitted a request to the judge overseeing pretrial hearings in that case, Army Col. James Pohl, Colonel Poteet said. After Mohammed raised the idea, his defense lawyers agreed that the information was important, Colonel Poteet said.
